The BUAV Save Our Monkeys campaign is appealing to the international Hindu community to help end the trade in monkeys for research in Mauritius. The appeal has been launched with the release of this song calling on Hindus who worship the monkey god, Lord Hanuman, to speak out for the exploited monkeys in Mauritius.

The song, entitled Vaanaron Ka Udhaar (Save the Monkeys) was composed by Anand Nithoo and is sung by Paras Deshmukh. It asks why the Hindu community can continue to worship and pray to Hanuman when such terrible cruelty and suffering is being inflicted on the monkey population in Mauritius.

Mauritius is one of the world's largest suppliers of primates for the research industry, exporting many thousands of animals each year primarily to the USA and Europe. The animals, trapped in the wild, are bred in their thousands in large-scale facilities on the island. They spend their lives behind bars; their infants taken away from them to be later exported to suffer and die in laboratories around the world.
